When researching Kanazawa, it is usually written as Kaga Hyakumangoku (Kaga Hyakumangoku), but the meaning is not often explained in detail, so let me explain briefly. Maeda Toshiie, who served Oda Nobunaga, later served Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was given Kaga Province (around present-day Ishikawa Prefecture) and Etchu Province (around present-day Toyama Prefecture). For 14 generations, the Maeda family ruled almost all of Kaga Province, Etchu Province, and Noto Province (Noto Peninsula), so Kanazawa is often described as a historic city of Kaga Hyakumangoku. Kanazawa was the castle town of the Kaga Domain, and the site where Kanazawa Castle was originally built is now Kanazawa Castle Park.

I feel that there is a trend these days where people are becoming less resistant to cosplay. A typical recent topic is Halloween, but the sight of the streets overflowing with people dressed up in disguise seems to have been unthinkable 10 years ago. Regarding Japanese clothing, which I will introduce this time, a new trend of "kimono boys" seems to be gradually gaining popularity, and there is information that the percentage of men and women who "wear kimonos at least once a month" is higher than the average for all generations (3.2%), with 20s (8.0%) and 30s (3.5%).
Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, was a castle town that flourished as the domain of the Kaga Domain, which had a million koku of rice during the Edo Period. Many historical buildings were destroyed in a major fire during the Meiji Period, but most of them have now been restored, and many tourists enjoy strolling through the streets filled with a Japanese atmosphere, including Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden, a Japanese garden famous as one of the most scenic spots in the country, and samurai residences and teahouses lined up side by side. In Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, where you can enjoy the beauty of Japanese culture, kimono rental has gained tremendous support, especially from women. The reason for its popularity is the increase in rental shops that allow you to change into Japanese clothing at low cost and without having to bring anything with you, and the fact that many tourists are looking for a photogenic trip that will look good on Instagram. This is no longer a passing fad, but has become the highlight of tourism in Kanazawa.
Kyoto, dotted with famous spots for red-hot autumn leaves in autumn, and with its crisp cold and beautiful snow-covered streets in winter, is the best season of the year for sightseeing and exploring. The coming season is the best time of the year for sightseeing in Kyoto. The new era of "Reiwa" is a memorable year, and many people are planning a trip to Kyoto during this best season from winter 2019 to early spring 2020. On this page, we will focus on "kimono rental," one of the Japanese cultural experiences that became popular due to the needs of female customers, including girls' trips and dates in Kyoto, and has now gained tremendous support from couples and men, becoming a staple of Kyoto tourism. We will introduce you to the charms of kimono rental. We will also introduce you to useful information for booking this season, such as popular plans and introductions to shops in each area!
I visited Kyoto Station for the first time in over a decade and it was very metropolitan, but after walking a little I was soothed by the Kyoto-like streetscape. It would be nice to visit tourist spots like Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which has beautiful autumn leaves, and learn about history. It would also be fun to walk along the Kamo River riverbed and the streets lined with old-fashioned buildings in Gion. I feel that Japanese clothing really suits Kyoto. The shop I would like to introduce this time, "Kyoto Kimono Rental Rei", is located in the Gion area. Nearby are Chion-in Temple, which is famous for its autumn leaves, and Yasaka Shrine, where the god of prosperous business is enshrined, which is lively in the summer with the Gion Festival. The Kamo River is nearby and Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temple are within walking distance, so there are plenty of picturesque sights to see.
